And that aren't already fixable ingame
Unfixable gamebreaking bugs > fixable gamebreaking bugs > unfixable minor bugs > fixable minor bugs
No. All of them
You can also mod the game to add content
And pretend that problem of bad dlcs like dod or tfv dissapear
But that does not justify the devs to not fix it
You can fix basically every in game mechanic or lacking content this way
Yeah but most aren't as easy as a singular console command
So those are pretty f-- obvious low priority issues
If it's so easy for me then how easy is it for them lol
Again
Also, even mods can't fix some issued
You start from the most little thing
Like the unit teleporting bug
And then go on the harder one
.
.
I would rather have 100 minor bugs fixed than a major one delayed by 1 day
That's how job overall looks
You start on the simplest stuff
And then focus on the more complicated one
And so on
Overall if you make something then it is not supposed to be fixed by user
I would much rather have an actual issue be fixed, then 10 things noone will care for except someone that whines because they were oh so forced to press a few extra buttons
The serious one delays simpler one and not really other way around
And the simpler one cumulate
Whoops czechoslovakia just accepted sudetenland even if you are allied with them
Whoops special focus for soviet union to core sakhalin doesnt core it
Whoops option to core lithuania as fascist poland through the puppet option doesnt work
Whoops romania gives up bessarabia while being at war
And so on
They totally break immersion and gameplay while are a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT easier to fix
Yup, completely agree that they should fix these minor, self fixable issues before fixing an issue that would completely remove your major ally with no way for even them to fix it!!! Sounds totally fair
If opening the console breaks your immersion then it might be wise to never open any of the other menu windows
Immerse yourself
Play for the ai

Generally games are supposed to work without having to use cheats
Do i also have to tag on enemy and design them a better templates?
And then tag back?
Should i also tag to ai to make serious offensives?
Where does the player need of fixing the game by cheats ends?
When all it takes is 1-2, maybe 3 quick lines
Like with missing cores
Oh interesting
I will note that
I hope every next dlc will be like this
Cores will be random
Ethiopia will get cores on antarctica by forming aksum
Man i really hope you won't ever play another game, you'll genuinly die when you see the smallest issue
And you likely won't even be able to fix that then
Well i play rome total war and it doesnt really have such issues
Also age of wonders
And that's only strategic games
I will not go to list every game that dont have to be fixed by player that i've played sorry
Yeah, cause most games can't even be fixed by players 
No because those small bugs are fixed after first weeks after release
Yeah and those teams also seem to just work more on the game
Hoi4 really feels like it's run by a small crew that only comes around for the dlc
So they "can't afford" in essence to fix minor "problems"
Sounds like company problem because they have all the resources to run a proper studio
For top popular strategy game
They do, and they run a "proper" studio
But not one that focuses on making sure a few pixels on the sprites of the soldier models are aligned correctly
Which is just as pressing of a matter as missing a few cores
I remember when i complained about bugs in rome remastered and basically all got fixed
For hoi
I dont remember any
Ngl
Ok
Welcome to the world system of profit
Those games seem to be made by studios who care more about players then their monry
Cause the hoi4 management REALLY doesn't care 
It doesnt really justify them
Maybe now they do, depends on what the second set of gamedevs will do
It does
Pdx is a corporation
Corporations do what corporations do
Ca is also corporation
A corporation doing what is not most profitable, is not "the norm"
What's best
They still have a dude
Years after release
Who help people on modding
And answer game questions
Btw isn't finnish monarchy the worst monarchist path in the game?
they introduced the french into america, worst update ever /s
Im surprised it wasn't already a releasable
canada etting more and more OP LOL
meh 10% more pop isn't that noteable. surrender limit is useless, and the researchj speed is "just" 5%
Best part of the Update
Surrender limit is not useless lol
for canada though
It's really only useful to fight the USA
canada shouldn't loose that much of it's country fighting the US
When will we get brazil alt hists finally?
then the 10% would only delay the inevitable
kinda dumb canada gets further war effort patches but Australlia and NZ haven't gotten any. Canada's been fine
tbf, wth would NZ even really do
No leader moment
Op tanks
Next week
They would be a match for the norwegian one
just allow NZ and Aus to core each other plox
Oceania formable
i don;'t think people woud like it if NZ got a focus to let themselves be annexed by australia 
It's official:
Now Uruguay and Paraguay have political branches each 2.5x larger than Czechoslovakia's
uhm ok
And AI portrait spies
It could be theres no good source
Or Paradox just doesnt wanna spend extra on artist time
True
I'd sacrifice an agent for a leader though
He dies in 42 so
Devs never replied to my comment:(
Tho I wonder if Ecuador n Peru will get an extra portrait or two
Wait the portriats are AI?
Not sure but they look like AI ones
Ahh the great nation of Quebec, controlling the islands of Nunavut and with Montreal as its capital
The Pacific update will deliver us, brother. Trust the plan.
Made them part of the state by proxy i assume
I think they will at some point but they want to ensure canada is atleast bearable to play
more like paradox has never had accurate borders
making the islands their own state would be dumb, tying it to a state wayyy too far away would also be dumb
way too far away? sir look at a map
Lot of it is due to game mechanics though
I assume game mechanics are the reason for montreal being the capital and not quebec city as well, yes?
Idk
Poland is example for not accurate states due to game mechanics
but these are islands with their correct shape and not arbitrarily drawn borders that match different periods of time
If they are going to focus on Canada, I'd expect at least some attention to detail. Perhaps it will be rectified upon release, after all it is a simple dev diary.
What's sad
They didnt add any vp on north
And probably yukon will still have 10 people
accurate state borders suck anyways, they don't matter at all except for country borders
If Quebec is released then it becomes a country border, do you understand my point?
So hype I can’t wait to play Comrade Franco and turn him into the red napoleon of the west
Brazil, Argentina, all will fear Paraguay
Generic portraits in a paid dlc🤮
What you talking about?
Tfv
Ooh
True together for victory is sad
Tho actually
It’s not even possible to go non aligned without outside help as Canada ain’t it?
Idk i will never play a country with this size of tree
What?
Still found it funny they bother making a trait but didnt bother making a portrait
That’s fair lol
I did think that was weird none the less
I love how our favorite scary man now has a scary trait to go with it
It's likely due to the Method the portraits are made in
They just colorize and draw over chosen photos
They aren't necessarily done from scratch
Also notable is that they dont use the right background apparently
According to our main artist
Wdym?
The brown background of the portraits isnt consistent with other spy portraits apparently
Oh yeah
It isn't
But
The background is consistent between each portrait in the diary
Ao it's probably artist choice
Idk
Looking at some
They look pretty much as just inspired
Old portraits especially
Recoloured would be much better quality
Nsb improved portraits quality by significiant marigin
But they dont look as just recoloured
They might still be wip, the background would probably be the least priority since it’s just a layer you slap on - easier to work with whatever bg you prefer then, and I don’t really get the ai claim - like they might be upscaled using some kind of tool but they look like painted over photos (and it’s not hard to find the image they based them on with a simple google search either)
Ignacy Mościcki is example of modern portrait looks clearly as not just recoloured
Karl Albrecht as well
Which makes me believe that rest is also made from scratch
True
Is Bolivia getting its own focus tree?
Or did I not notice it in the latest dev diary
whats the point of quebec being independent if it has like 2 people that speak snail eater ww2 munich disagreement traitor language
Nope, only Uruguay and Paraguay
Likely there will be something like an "Andes Pack" later one
With a Tree for Venezuela, Peru, and Colombia
With Ecuador and Bolivia having minor trees like Uruguay and Paraguay
there aren't any extra people there, I'm just talking about making it clean
Ok
Love the goodies
All thanks to Paradox for this song of this new DLC
#hoi4 #heartsofiron4 #trialofallegiance
Will Chile and Argentina have an antartica exploration tree?
Will chile get a bonus if the panama canal is blown up due to the strait of magallanes?
Will chilean army get a morale bonus for never losing a war? And will argentina get a causus belli to invade chile due to the beagle dispute?
Can peru and bolivia justify on chile early game?
Can colombia justify on venezuela? With tree?
antartica exploration would be sick
Would it really
+90% attrition
0 battles, -10 manpower from failed expeditions maybe, 0 colonization
More useless than South America in WW2
Get more out of the money u spend on a dlc:
Or dont:
The german antarctic secret bunker
another adam hilt after he gets kicked out of argentina too
now he will be leader of antartica
i wish paradox will add more election for monarchs events
it would work for french tree too
Or a parliament styled thing like the French complete mod had
The Swedish King likes Germany but doesn't offer to give back North Schleswig? I believe he would have offered that in exchange for good relations with Germany. They made the State but hasn't done much with it. Maybe give Sweden a decision they can do after they've done Danish Alignment to give Germany North Schleswig in exchange for a non-aggression pact and good relations. Maybe also give Germany a core there aswell, if they accept
If Germany is Democratic or Monarchist.
I still wonder when they will remaster the Ideologies. Non-Aligned is a shit ideology that just feels like a handicap. Can't expand Austria-Hungary early due to low world tension
Something else that would be interesting to see is that if France enters a Civil war Germany can seize Alsace-Lorraine via a decision. If Germany is Fascist or Monarchist. It would put more Pressure on France to not fall into a civil war.
Germany would very likely be able to pull that off as France is in disarray and would be busy fighting itself. You could argue they can't due to the Maginot Line. I would agree if The French army wasn't busy with itself. Few troops would be on that border as they would be busy fighting the civil war
they really need to separate monarchism from non aligned
at this point there are so many monarchist countries that they deserve their own ideology instead of being grouped with everything else
Yeah, but it needs it mainly because non-Aligned is a lot more limiting than what a monarchy would be. Especially if they have plans to regain what they lost. There also needs to be a way to core the east Prussian territories. Sometimes Poland does a path where they will absolutely refuse the trade of guarantees for territories
Non Aligned for me is anything not aligned to a democratic, fascist, or communist ideology.
To fix some monarchy trees, they should get a national spirit to get cheaper faster war goals at lower world tension
I would love a different idelogy called "Monarchist" because how do you exactly difference it if you do not know?
I really think they should rework politics as a whole maybe last feature dlc
4 ideologies are very outdated
And with sweden they already started working on what if you dont want to join the war
Even with chile they tried to make staying democratic more interesting
Giving you a lot more potential choices unlocked through choosing specific leaders in elections
How's that paradox fix barely any bugs?
I want them to make different ideologies that have differences in them. Non-aligned is too restricting to be Monarchist. Communism gives no economic debuffs despite being known for being shit for exactly that reason. The Nazis were not Fascist like the Italians. There exists different types of democratic ideologies that has key differences between them.
They did give a national spirit for Austria-Hungary, but that doesn't really help if you still need high world tension.
I funnily enough found a new bug when playing German Empire. If the Czechs are a monarchist puppet of Poland. Austria, Hungary and Czech can't form Austria-Hungary through Germany's Rekindle Imperial Sentiment.
Or it happened but because Hungary was capitulated it didn't work. As Otto is the leader of Hungary for some reason. And the game believes it's been reformed. When infact it hasn't
Yep. The game thinks it's been reformed. When it hasn't
i can know if the provinces in the new dlc for south america going reformulate the provinces?
they probably will
every dlc changed some provinces for the specified area
They did
For brazil at least
thanks, god DLC
Hi
HI
hi
Well it seems like late game
when historical ai does historical thing 😱
Well
That's the only historical thing about this
im jp btw, i also see the ussr lose all the time
Allies liberating france from the south 💀
even on historical
That's even more suprising because most of the time they lose even if as turbo minor like baltics i cut off german forces they still lose
Or when as allies i literally took over berlin and german capital become gdynia soviets still lose
soviet strength 💪💪💪
lmaoooo wtf
Ngl
Paradox shouldnt add impassable terrain from now on everywhere
Imagine breaking through this 1/2 jungle tiles
No way, a jungle is very hard to pass and combat through? Who could have thought
Hard is still pushable
Something not so much for hoi
It's not that it is easy already
I dont want to use more atomic bombs on jungle than already
ADD RIVER NAVY
Lake navy
Is there a yekaterina duntsova in millenium dawn?
I wonder how hard that would be to mod
With the current system of navy it would require making large rivers into technically oceans, meaning you’d need either a shit ton of river crossings or armies could no longer cross rivers
Just use amph tanks
Brazil alt hist looks...ok
I feel like so many of the trees are "unify south america"
Chile's was my favorite thusfar
surprised the democratic path has it as an optinb ut in the end south america is pretty weak in this time period
all of it combined is only 80m
81m maybe if you include the 3 colonial Guyanas
And it has pretty low building slots as well
Yeah, and most industry is mediocre at its best and nonexistent at worst
so like not sure what Argentina or Chile players would do if theyw ere just stuck not really expanding beyond each other
Atleast for cores
Brazil is def the most generic of all the trees
Chile undeniably has the coolest tree
Argentina seems like its gonna be good
Hype as hell for Paraguay and Uruguay, mostly Paraguay tho
Specifically can’t wait for Mapuche Chile
I wonder how much longer until paradox lets YouTubers start making videos on early releases? We are only 2 weeks away from release
why
didnt check dev diary yet
It’s just a lot of similar stuff with different ideologies it seems, a bit less unique stuff compared to the other two
"The Italian-Brazilian Partition of Africa" is by far the most powerful-sounding focus (though probably not by gameplay terms)
But that Brazil is getting content at all is nice, and with its industrial potential, having more a more "generic" tree leaves it more open-ended to do what the player wants
That one is cool, I like that you get general buffs
Can you get portugal?
One path at least can demand Portuguese submission, looks like
No word yet on how the Portuguese tree will be changed, if at all, to account for Brazil content though
Man, it's funny to consider that Portugal is the 4th largest Portuguese-speaking nation in the world
Granted, Portuguese isn't the majority of 2nd and 3rd place, but it's still a decent percentage
They wont
Paradox dont touch old countries
Look at estonia
They have broken cores
They're adding free changes to TFV Canada in the very next update
What are you asking why for?
what makes it worse
I never said anything was necessarily worse or bad even
Just the Brazil tree feels like it’s pretty generic bog standard cookie cutter for hoi nations
Argentina feels like that but fancier
Chile feels like it’s a bit more wacky and maybe a little more fresh
And Paraguay is def the wackiest
Uruguay feels like it’s gonna be closer to simple like Iceland
Ok so I was wondering right, will the new dlc bring with it a new game mechanic or are the focus trees the only thing that will be added to the game?
If it was said before then i probably missed it
nah, i'd argue the other way around
Brazil is more unique in that regard
its a country pack, so i doubt it
like with BftB
this is the secondary dev team working on this pack, Paradox announced that the main team will focus on other aspects of the game while this dev team will be mainly for side content, such as country packs
tbf to Paradox those are annoying as all hell to go back to and meticulously fix one by one
im not saying they shouldn't, they defo should, but I can understand the hassle involved in there
that sucks
but thanks
not like that'll stop me from buying it but still
I am perfectly fine with country packs
Sometimes I don’t want a whole game changing enormous expansions with the burrito customizer and new spy xp
Sometimes I just want paradox made focus trees fr
iceland looks more interesting
that's kinda meaning of worse, no?
less interesting
from what i've seen
chile is by far the best
historical brazil felt kinda cool too
people complained about argentina because there wasnt peron only lol
though i agree with that argentina looks better than brazil although i didnt check the alt hists yet
I think they're working on the next DLC, could be Japan could be Middle East
I'd not Japan it'll probably be a Thailand/DEI dlc
paradox should make a free update for together for victory to get better trees
I get this, sometimes playing Paradox trees in vanilla just feels better than DLC
It's unlikely, they'll probably do small reworks if a country pack is in an area
Probably like the Canada updates if there isn't any dlc
yeah i know its unlikely but it would be nice to refresh some trees in dlcs
they did it with poland
Eh idk, I think I just have different feelings and vibes
I think the whole dlc is cool and excited
Yeah, these country packs are a welcome relief after two years of new gameplay-changing mechanics
I've still barely touched the plane designer
I’m curious do you think the devs will get rid of all americas guarantees for the dlc
They did
It’s been replaced with a Monroe Doctrine national spirit for all American nations
Now when a nation without the national spirit attacks a nation with the spirit then the US gets an event popup letting them join the war
ngl the US would 100% intervene if a ussr-germany alligned nation where to conqour stuff
but that's what guarentees are for
Great now I can actually play as anything in the us since whenever I played central or South America I would get invaded by the us if I invaded a single country
you already wouldn't as you'd be guarenteed yourself normally
What? I have never had that happen
Yeah, if you are an American nation then you never get attacked for attacking another American nation
Ditto for any country like that, if you are guaranteed by the French, and attack another nation guaranteed by the French, then the French won’t attack you
Really I mean I swear that has happened before but it’s has been a long time since I’ve actually played in the Americas since I thought I couldn’t expand at all because of the us
maybe a CW removes it
Maybe that was before I played, I started playing hoi4 around Waking The Tiger
Wait you know what I remember why I was annoyed by it so much it’s because I tried to play as Hawaii but I couldn’t get more man power since I would have needed to either invade china with japan or go to war with us because I invaded Costa Rica or something in Central America
Well
Brazil is like same on every path
Just different ideology
Wish anarchocommunism would be something more
That's literally every vanilla focus tree
Idk
Poland is pretty much different
Depending on ideology
Also chile
Even norway
quite a few trees ally and attack pretty differently
Actually I've mistaken vanilla for RT56 but my point still stands for majority of other trees in vanilla
Pretty much every nation is like that lol
Now there are wacky trees that allow nations to do more
But that's rare
And often just falls into the same gameplay loop
En Union y Libertad is actually a great South America mod, and it's pretty similar if not more diverse and in-depth
Well not really that's what differs modern trees from the old one
Italy is so much different at other ideologies
Now aat kinda breaks that trend mostly with finland
Where fascist path have everything that historical path does and does it better
To the point there's nothing that historical path gives you that fascist dont
I mean yeah the focus trees and buffs are different, but the gameplay is still rather similar for each
Which is kinda broken design
Idk
I feel like Historical is gonna be the weakest path of pretty much every nation in terms of fun and strength
Except the US
Ussr?
That too
But usually there's something that makes it better
Like a single thing
But at finland
Idk, I haven't really seem that
There's not such thing really
Fascist have Continuation war right?
Eh
It gives you more buffs manpower, unlock fascist stuff such as farther conscription laws and war economy
And
On top of that
It gives you all nordics for free
Before the war
It's strong but you can't fight thr USSR alone
How so?
With all the nordics you have more factories already
And your divs are like 10x stronger
The only path that can somehow compete with fascist are commies due to more cores while also unlocking higher conscription laws etc
And giving sapmi territories for free
But that's it
Very weird balance
Where fascist do nie exact same thing as historical one but are better at every single thing
I've done the Fascist path, it's strong but not the strongest
Portugal is kinda the same imo
One struggle with manning border
Other can annex all nordics for free and go higher conscription
I mean strongest branch but not very overall
While also giving more buffs
seems that the democracy path might actually be stronger for brazil this time around
You don't have to fight the USA
but still get to core everything but panama
Secret King path for Chile
I wonder if Paraguay will get a Triple Alliance acheivement or Napoleon Acheivment
Ngl a tree that basically gives you a continent for free will always be OP
I wonder if there will be any reverence’s to Prussia for Chile since it’s army is heavily influenced by Prussian militarism
maybe theres some pp stuff, IIRC Ethiopia can't get all of Africa till 1980 lol
and South America isn't that powerful
its like 80 million combined with weaker industry than most areas of that size
Bulgaria on Kaiserreich but ten times harder
I hope not
Yeah Ethiopia is just dumb
Ethiopia sucks because of it
i mean all of africa is barely anything
it starts with 150m pop and 17 factories, the focus tree factoreis probably add up a decent bit but not enough
150m is better than everything but the USSR/China/Raj but still not gamebreaking
Ussr have more population than whole africa i think?
About factories
I thought it was 25 which is less than poland alone
But 17?
Lol
yeah its 200m while Africa is 150m iirc
and most of those factories are south african
IIRC SA gets 8, Ethiopia gets like 3 and the rest get 6
a baltic can get more than all of africa with like 4 focuses
I'm not even counting focuses lol
That's too unfair

Still if Argentina and Chile build industry it'll probably be stronger than some European contries
Well
Also you have alot of local resources too
South america is not actually poor
KR Bulgaria, but no manpower
Average for minors
Brazil, Argentina, Chile probably the best
Maybe
Bolivia would be the worst in South America
If it wasn't for the resources they should have irl
Paraguay has a cool history tho
I forgot
But
Its got like 3/4 different paths
So bot bad
Probably what Bolivia and Ecuador will have
Yeah I'd say united south America is probably comparable to Poland Romania or Poland czechoslovakia
a united south america is gonna be pretty powerful, dont underestimate it
by 42-43 id say it has around 120~150 factories give or take
thats stronger than raj and spain combined
It’s a whole continent
Whole south america is a major
What's kinda a shame
Except chile
Argentina and brazil will be mostly copy and paste nations
Like in aat
Were you go to form exact same thing
Why no columbia or Venezuela focuses smh
Or Ecuador or Peru
Aren't those two the only ones who did anything until last minute
Tbf when you have to do like 30+ different focuses alot of them are gonna seem the same after a while
They fought a very short war where American intervention basically ended it/kinda saving Ecuador
Exactly that might be fun
Also more content for the us
Yeah
They gotta add extra stuff for the US in intervening against South American Nations
as even with Ecuador the US did not like how they were making deals with Italy for equipment
It'd add an extra layer of challenge for swapping ideaologies or invading neighbor
Imo a good idea is to have something similar to Ethiopia's war escalation where if Argentina and Brazil were fighting they'd slowly receive more and more support from a given side until the conflict gets embroiled into WW2
With an event like "Argentina formally signs the Tripartite pact" or "Brazil allows foreign expeditions"
at least some way for the US to coerce the SA countries to join the war
WW2

🤑🤓
Where do motorized militias come from?
The developers should update the Japan and Germany focus tree
Yea germany needs more opposition paths
for example a communist path and expand the democratic, monarchist and fascist path
just play mods
nah
The focus trees that are going to come out of Uruguay and Paraguay in the new dlc are bigger than the focus tree of Japan
xd
nahhhh
no mods
the dlcs
that are like
20 euro per dlc
need to give to the players
more content
tho specially this one
How does uruguay and paraguay tree even look like?
I only saw some focuses
Seem ultra small
Like i'm pretty sure iceland is larger from what i've seen
oh
iceland is on the dlc with the scandinavian countries right
Yes
You can see it in the dd
But there's no screenshot of whole tree right?
yes at the bottom iirc
Oh so yeah
That's the political and eco paths excluding giant military trees
Not that bad
I think it's iceland size
Maybe even larger
is more bigger than the focus tree of japan xd
Well
The military one are copied for the rest south american country
But including that
It may be bigger than usa tree
yes
good to know I actually pre-ordered something
I mean you'd hope it is
You'd expect every new focus tree to be bigger than 1.0 trees
When will this dlc release already?
after 1939
March 7th
I wonder if Oaraguay and zuruguay are getting unit models
its someone who's account is compromised, the filter is working to keep the compromising links out of channels
Ah I see
Probably just Argentinian models or a generic one
Idk, they gave the Warlords individual modeks
They'll probably get some
Especially since Hoi4 devs are now adding multiple models for each nation with the recent 2 DLC
Niet
Brother why u massacrating their names
I didnt notice the typo😭
hm?
I cant sink the german light cruiser Karlsruhe
it says its strength is 0,0
but it stays afloat killing my destroyers and wasting precious fuel as france
find it and damage it
which countries gets a new focus tree in trial of alliegance ? i believe it's juste brazil argentina and chile no ?
Well there's also paragauy and urugauy
Hoi4 is the only game where baltics are richer than benelux
While chile gets more content than usa
Sigh
When is this DLC coming out already
I can’t be asked to preform a Brazilian world conquest without it
lol, i saw it on gdp screen, it's true, they're litterally richer than benelux
What’s the gdp screen?
A modded thing only
I see I see
🤦♀️
xd
por cierto, lamento boliviano es una canción xd
lamento boliviano is a song
I wonder if they added a decision or tree to reconquer Germany after he is in Venezuela
xd
idk
BAD ENDING
They had the chance to call this "Brazil goes to you"
Real new achievement?
who here has preordered?
Always pre-order
Never met a hoi4 dlc that didsapoijted me
really or are you being sarcastic?
Where is my vuvuzuela: As communist venezuela own nothing without deleting the equipment
Lmao
National Spirit: Skeletal army
guy didn't even play BBA on launch
did germany ask for memel?
yes lol
not really historical then is it, if you own memel by then
¯_(ツ)_/¯
XD
Why was bba dissapointing?
I mean yeah its small compared to nsb
players felt like they where used as playtesters in a full release
But still larger than aat and toa
Although i agree the only interesting thing it got was italy while ethiopia is boring and still hardly playble while switzerland is just boring
I did on the first day it launched
It was fine
The rare person who had perfect rng to circumvent all bugs
Tbh I played Cyberpunk on old-gen Xbox with it only crashing a couple timea
I can somehow escape alot of bugs lol
One message removed from a suspended account.
Imagine losing to Houston 🤣
same happened to me lol
they wanted romania
took east prussia before they made any moves
lol
Chile cam core France lmao
Soviets are like what
stop posting about BALLER
AS soviet invade poland in 36 and germany in 37
does anyone else feel like sweden have... worst aat tree?
One message removed from a suspended account.
Lmao
I wonder why they didn't make an acheivment outta that
wait what
Meanwhile, you can't even directly core Bulgaria as Yugoslavia...
Chile Coring france is much more historically plausible
(Yugoslavia already has too many EThnicities)
😭
Beornia from DoD Vic 2 should be a secret fun path for argentina xd
Its cursed
I love it
Tbh Hoi4 should add an "Oceania" Formable for Mosley's Imperial Federation
We need a few mroe wacky paths imo
why do you have so few divisions?
You should have a full army group and a half or more
before germany invades
don't all have to be high quality divisions, you can have some weaker defensive inf with only support arty and engineers
and then your assault divisions, which are your tank divisions and larger inf divisions with artillery, aa, and more support companies
Also build an air force as the USSR, that's my go to build, if you spam CAS the German forces will deorg since they already deal with supply issues
Ai ass organisation
??????
Fr
cuz freedom, they have oil
I'm actually excited for the new dlc
The content looks really good and now Ik that not only are we one large step closer to getting the first bunch of nations reworked but also that these dlcs are coming out faster than before
Its a dlc without new mechanics and fully copied trees from road to 56 lol
The tree is fundamentally different from rt56
Sounds like trolling
😨
Does anyone have any recommendations for mods to download
old world blues is fun
Kaiserreich or Kaiserredux if ya want crazy games
Yes
Imo only Peru seems fun in South America for R56, mostly because even a great tree is still restricted by your relative isolation
W peru enjoyer 
Hello, does anyone know if there are new states in the new DLC that have been created by editing the Amazon region. I'm just asking about a map mod I've created, where I've created new states.

Yes. You will have to update it when the dlc comes out
This dlc will not break saves?
just revert version
it probably will break yeah
Developers need to add content to Middle Eastern countries such as Iran, Iraq, Arabia
I just studied it a little
And it's a bit sweety how saudi arabia severed diplomatic contacts with germany basically right when the war started
We need the GLIB DLC xD
G for Germany: An extended Focus Tree for Germany with Communist Way, because Germany can not be made Communist with the Focus Tree (Switzerland too). Also, the attack on Europe in fascism should be made more historic, if the game wants to be as accurate as possible. The AI is attacking the Benelux countries first, instead of Scandinavia, which is ahistorical.
L for Luxembourg: A focus tree for Luxembourg, please.
I for Ireland: A focus tree for Ireland, please.
B Belgium: A focus tree for Belgium, please.
Additional requests: The one can join more than one faction and that it is easier to negotiate territories.
Do people really want luxembourg and ireland?
ireland would be cool though
What would you do though?
Only thing i can think of
Is magic celtic empire
well for sure cores on scotland and wales and stuff
but also joining central powers part 2 could be cool
also just working as another allied minor akin to canada or the raj or something
Ngl but i'd rather see everything first
Germany Luxembourg Lietchestein Austria Hungary Czechoslovakia and Danzig (should’ve been independent for a Prussia joke tree) and Romania would all be good countries to work on to make a good HRE/Austria-Hungary rework
Vatican update when
they don't, they want a reworked default tree but haven't realised it yet 
Bhutan and luxembourg fighting for the reward of most useless tree
Somehow interesting nation with some potential<<<<<house getting a tree with a single focus adding 7 factories
For Luxembourg, perhaps only a small focus tree, as in Uruguay and Paraguay. That Luxembourg in alternative history offers itself as a subject or ally of other states in order to be safe from neighboring states.
For example, Luxembourg as part of the Maginot Line, so that the Ardennes offensive becomes a little more difficult.
Honestly Austria should also get a focus tree
yeah, like 2-3 focusses
Idk i think there's big difference between uruguay and paraguay compared to luxembourg
More content =/= better and game changing content
Fighting or owning a single city can be the deciding factor in a war.
Real chads support republican spain while being fascist
South east Asia update with Siam, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysian. Focus tree and add French Indochina as a new country with a focus tree. The 3 dominions PIM should focus on becoming independent especially Indonesia. Malaysia doesn’t need much of any at all. Philippines and French Indochina could be a bit focused on threat from Japan if they go the fascists path. French Indochina could be about loyalty to France or too supporting Vietnamese rebels with Will launch a rebellion along with Laos and Cambodia.
Anyone else just a little worried about the state of the DLC since it releases Thursday but there hasn’t been any YouTubers or reviewers showing off the dlc yet
They probably got the beta already and are just waiting until PDX gives them the go ahead
Im surprised it hasn’t happened yet
Rip
Lmao I already pre ordered for the song
I have bought every dlc since Waking The Tiger day 1, so when they started offering a bonus song for preordering I went for it
But the song!
If it wasn't for the songs, I would not pre order
I still do not pre order actual games, but dlc for a game that I make YT videos for, it makes sense to do so
Yeah I mean I don't even use the in-game radio
Plus I really could not care less about South America
It amuses me that the Soviet Union has focuses on Afghanistan, although Afghanistan has not focuses
They need to cope with this, because even in Xinjiang there are tricks
When is the latin america dlc coming
Thursday
):
50 hours till the dlc unlocks on est
Same I wish that there were YouTube videos up
Probably because it's only a country pack
And they're having another DLC likely release this year
I wouldn't be surprised they're trimming down on the budget and preparing for the next stage
It's between that or the South Eadt Asian countries
As those two groups had active participation in WW2 and were broth Vital to the war effort
When will Hearts of Iron be available for sale on Steam?
When will Hearts of Iron be available for sale on Steam?
When will Hearts of Iron be available for sale on Steam?
Nevet
Southeast Asia I hope, I want a big rework of the whole indo-pacific
India rework esp, and idk minor updates for Japan, Australia, New Zealand
It was on sale a couple of weeks ago, and it will go on sale in the future again but no dates on those yet
So no, it is not on sale today, and I do not know when it will be in the future just yet
Meh
I would like pacific war rework
But south east asia only?
I'd rather get middle east first
Or rest of south america
I dont see south east asia dlc without reworking both japan and usa
Can I sell 4 iron hearts to someone for $8?Can I sell 4 iron hearts to someone for $8?Can I sell 4 iron hearts to someone for $8?
Can I sell 4 iron hearts to someone for $8?
sorry for spam
Can I sell 4 iron hearts to someone for $8?
No, and stop spamming.
USA is fine, tbh Japan would be the only one getting a rework for South East Asia
No usa is not fine
I could maybe see US getting a rework in a "leftovers" DLC
💀
It's playability
It matters
Lithuanian tree is better in every way
More flavor
Larger
More short focuses
Less fillers
And tbh, what're you gonna do for an American alt-hist tree if there is literally no room for alt-hist other than a different president
More interesting alt history
Cause Lithuania has room for it
USA has no real Fascist or Communist path, a Monarchy would never happen
Like even to its extremes
It's really hard to re-do an American tree
Monarchy would never happen for basically anyone
That got it
It's not that usa dont have fascist and communist paths
*And although other nations have trees like this kts significantly Harder to justify for the United States
I wouldnt care if usa wouldnt have monarchy
Ik they're Barren
Chile have a lot more interesting democratic path
But its like England's Fascist tree and democratic tree
And they're the ones who actually got a rework
Chilean elections are a lot more interesting event than usa one
Also usa deserves something more than baltics or chile
And important one
Eh, I think it can wait for other Nations to get focus trees first
To get this straight
I wont bother more us tree than 2 games i played with it
Unless it gets a rework
Idk
The US is fun because it's an economic powerhouse
Tree doesn't matter so much in this case since most gampley is just building uo industry and preparing to stomp everyone by '40
Ehhh
US starts off OP
Or almost
Once you get off Isolation it's OP
And because it dont have good tree it can be outproduce by ussr if you really want that
Also germany
Usa deserves so much more than it have
Idk
When US gets off Isolation it has the biggest industry byfar
Atleast on historical
Not really
If you dont care about war you could have a lot more as ussr
Germany ususally have more than usa too
And it's not what makes it interesting
More diplomacy
More interesting fighting with debuffs
More interesting internal politics
Usa tree is bad at everything here
When will we get another country pack?
By the end of the year probably
Germany is grossly outdated
So is Japan
USA, France, and UK too need to be reworked
I'd value new trees rather than reworks
I wonder if there'll be a pre-launch dev diary
does the soviet union start without an air force with the latest update?
apparently my missing air force was a mod conflict, damn. at least its not base game stupidity
What time will ToA be released?
I want to know that too
Please if someone knows tell me
😭🙏
I’m Chilean and I want to try it asap
1 day and 14 hours from now

You’re right I didn’t realize 😭
I think there should be a nomination system for the US.
The thought of Alf Landon going fascist is wack... but Lindbergh on the other hand... Also having different nominees allow for different paths and alt history
More fun elections, something to do when waiting for war
I think chile have interesting elections event
if our multiplayer group wants to play with the new dlc tomorrow should the host own the dlc or is it enough if anyone owns it? Maybe a really stupid question but our normal host owns all dlc and i pre ordered for the bonus track 🙂
its always the host that has to have the dlc ofc
Fyi if you don't own it usually the portraits are generics
Which goes more for the others
i noticed that. I do not see faces for my agents as well 😅
Came back to hoi4 only 3 month ago. Playing now nearly daily vanilla MP. but loving it 🙂
Mongolia tree when?
No dlc today?
Tomorrow
I’m surprised no sponsored vids regarding the dlc have been made by hoi4 content creators
Not dlc
Dev Diary
Mean Dev Diary
Tommorow, but we don’t know specifically when
I know it's tomorrow
But what time
Because for me, TOMORROW is in 7 hours, but for someone in MEXICO is in 14 hours
So like?
We don’t know, yet, they will probably post a chart for at some point within the next 24 hours
They posted a timezone chart around then last DLC
So that’s our best bet rn
dang
that already came
Now there are
early access probably
Yep lol
The update
Makes no mention of the changes to Ecuador/Peru
Was this cuye?
Cut*
Nvm just wasn't mentioned lol

Ukraine tree when?
C'mon Pdx, you had one job...
Brazil states' borders are still butchered
(1930's states of Brazil map for reference)
all due to game balance
Ngl
I get that Chile, Argentina, and Brazil were the fic
Focus*
But still a bit disappointed Paraguay and Uruguay didn't get unit models
Especially since the Baltics got sole
Some*
bruh
paradox
really get ur shit together
I hardly believe that
I mean, it's one thing to gobble up a small state by a much larger one, that's OK I suppose; but it's just that parts of the borders from medium-sized states like Ceará, São Paulo and Paraná are in completelly wrong places, they could have been drawn a lot better, the game wouldn't be impacted by that...
